Trenton, NJ – According to New Jersey Business Magazine, “The NJ Cybersecurity & Communications Integration Cell (NJCCIC) has issued four advisories on cyberattacks in the last week. Vulnerabilities were found in Microsoft Office, Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer and Adobe Flash Player.”

While no reports have been filed so far, the fear is that hackers would use weakness present in these programs for “remote code execution,” or having the ability to access and change information. Visit the vulnerabilities section of the NJCCIC website for more details: http://www.cyber.nj.gov/

The NJCCIC is designed to make businesses aware of these threats and the tools available to fight them. NJBIA has partnered with the recently created group to keep businesses up to date. The NJCCIC updates a list of vulnerability advisories on its website to keep you aware of the weaknesses hackers will try to exploit. Every day, there are 117,000 cyberattacks worldwide—that’s more than one attack every second. So it’s vital to stay on top of the latest methods hackers are using. Keeping yourself protected means you need to be aware of your vulnerabilities.
